#asktheexpert my baby is 7 months old but he denied to eat anything. what should I do

A. My 7-month-old baby refuses to eat any solid food, which worries me. At this age, it's common for babies to have days when they don’t feel like eating due to teething, illness, or simply adjusting to new tastes. I continue to offer small amounts of soft, easily digestible foods like mashed banana, dal water, or rice cereal without forcing. I also ensure he is getting enough breast milk or formula for nutrition. Creating a calm, playful feeding environment and offering food when he’s active and happy helps. If the refusal continues for several days or he's losing weight, I will consult a pediatrician.
